Oh god anything talking to Exchange other than Outlook or IE (at a push) is going to be painful.
I think I probably said something along the lines of "if you need to access Exchange from Linux then Evolution is the best option" because really it is that or the basic mode OWA in mozilla. But whatever it was if it was even slightly positive towards Evolution I take it back :)
Actually, we weren't talking about the Exchange connection so much - you were just bigging Evolution up in general. I disagreed given my own experiences and eventually we left it that my bad experience might well have been just down to the flakiness of the exchange plugin (tho I wasn't convinced :) ).
Sounds like you've come around ... heh
Peter.
P.S. To be fair, the Exchange plugin I used a few years back, was the old OWA screen-scraper one that Novell open-sourced when they bought Ximian. I believe there's been work more recently in Evolution on using the native binary Exchange protocol, so things may have improved. I just don't have the patience to go through it all again
